Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP(S) traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more.

An I thought the Fiddler name was a metaphor for the bow going back an forth like HTTP messages.

If you've installed the recently released "Service Pack 2" (SP2) for
Windows XP, you have automatically installed a new firewall on your
PC that might be blocking VNC connections. To create an "exception"
for VNC, follow these instructions:

   1. Click Start, click Run, type Wscui.cpl, and then click OK to open 
      Windows Firewall.
   2. Click the Exceptions tab, and de-select the "Don't Allow Exceptions"
      radio-button.
   3. Click Add Port to display the Add a Port dialog box.
   4. Enter port number "5900" or whatever port you've got VNC on that
      PC to listen on (port number = 5900 + "VNC Display Number").
   5. Select the TCP protocol.
   6. In the Name field, type "VNC".
   7. Click Change Scope to view or to set the scope for the port 
      exception, and then click OK.
   8. Click OK to close the Add a Port dialog box.
   
That should do it! More info here:

Loading up a new laptop I downloaded and ran Uniform Server 4.2-Mona and everything worked just fine.

A few days ago I tried to start up the server and it failed, being unable to find redirect.html on drive z:

Inserting some pauses in a copy of Server_Start.bat is discovered that after uniserv.exe ran, z: disappeared.

Some searching around got me to:

I closed Skype and everything worked great.

I've been using Uniform Server for years and have been very happy with it.

Many thanks!

"Mozilla Labs is launching a series of experiments to bridge the divide in the user experience between web applications and desktop apps and to explore new usability models as the line between traditional desktop and new web applications continues to blur. Unlike Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight, we’re not building a proprietary platform to replace the web. We think the web is a powerful and open platform for this sort of innovation, so our goal is to identify and facilitate the development of enhancements that bring the advantages of desktop apps to the web platform."

"The captions you enter are embedded into each jpg file using industry standard IPTC and XMP headers - all in a loseless operation that doesn't degrade the jpeg image. Many other applications understand IPTC/XMP too - so once you have annotated your photos with iTag, any IPTC/XMP aware application will automatically fill out the title, description and tag fields where appropriate. If you already have a number of tagged photos, build an index with iTag so that you can search for your photos like this. If you do all of your tagging in iTag, the index will automatically keep itself up to date. (Search functions in Picasa, Copernic and Windows Vista will work with iTag edited photos too). iTag can load geocoded photos into Google Earth like this. One off geocoding can be performed by iTag using Google Earth placemarks. If you have a GPS you will want to use something like WWMX Location Stamper instead. iTag comes highly recommended by Brent Evans, was given 5 stars by freewaregenius and has been featured on lifehacker.
